Separator for gaseous fluids

Claim 2

A separator for gaseous fluids containing solid or liquid contaminants comprising first section parts and second section parts, each of said parts being open and trough-shaped in cross section, said first parts being arranged in a first row, said second parts being arranged in a second row opposite said first row, each of said parts having free longitudinal edges, said edges of said first parts overlapping and spaced apart from said edges of said second parts said first or second section, parts being detachable from a support.

Claim 3

The separator of claim 1 wherein at least some of said parts are adapted to revolve around their longitudinal axes.

Claim 4

The separator of claim 2 wherein said section parts have at least one flat surface to inhibit revolution.

Claim 5

A separator for gaseous fluids containing liquid or solid contaminants comprising first section parts and second section parts, each of said parts being open and trough-shaped in cross section, said first parts being arranged in a first row, said second parts being arranged in a second row opposite said first row, each of said parts having free longitudinal edges, said edge of said first parts overlapping, partially enclosing, and spaced apart from said edges of said second parts, said first parts having a longitudinal protrusion emanating from the area of said first part not overlapped by said second parts, said second parts having a longitudinal extending protrusion emanating from the area of said second part not overlapped by said first parts whereby the flow rate of said fluids is varied.

Claim 6

A separator for gaseous fluids containing liquid or solid contaminants comprising first section parts and second section parts, each of said parts being open and trough-shaped in cross section, said first parts being arranged in a first row, said second parts being arranged in a second row opposite said first row, each of said parts having free longitudinal edges, said edge of said first parts overlapping, partially enclosing, and spaced apart from said edges of said second parts, said first parts having a longitudinal protrusion emanating from the area of said first part not overlapped by said second parts, said second parts having a longitudinal extending protrusion emanating from the area of said second part not overlapped by said first parts whereby the flow rate of said fluids is varied.

Claim 7

The separator of claim 4 wherein said longitudinal protrusion tapers towards its extremeties.

Claim 8

The separator of claim 4 wherein said longitudinal protrusion is drop-shaped or knob-shaped in cross section.

Claim 9

The separator of claim 4 wherein said edges are reinforced.

Claim 10

The separator of claim 4 wherein said separator is provided with a collecting element adapted to receive substances precipitated from said fluids, said element being at a lower end of said section parts.

Claim 11

The separator of claim 4 wherein said section parts are arch, U, or V shaped in cross section.

Claim 12

The separator of claim 4 wherein said protrusions are hollow.

Claim 13

A separator according to claim 4 wherein said longitudinal protrusion comprises pipes through which cooling media are adapted to flow.

Claim 14

The separator of claim 4 wherein said longitudinal protrusion is texturized at least partially.

Claim 15

The separator of claim 12 wherein said longitudinal protrusion is texturized longitudinally in the form of recesses.

Claim 16

The separator of claim 4 wherein at least some of said parts are at least partially texturized.

Claim 17

The separator of claim 14 wherein said parts are texturized in the form of recesses.

Claim 18

The separator of claim 4 wherein said section parts are fixed by holding elements emanating from tracks.

Claim 19

The separator of claim 16 wherein said tracks for holding said first parts are adjustable in the same direction and to the same extent as said tracks for holding said second parts.
